The Drexel Dragons wrestling team kept the Abner’s Cheesesteak Trophy for the third straight year – is this the beginning of a streak? I asked Coach Az that question in a post match interview. Penn came into the match a little banged up and missing their 125lb wrestler. The Daskalakis Athletic Center had more than […]

A young Cornell team started their trip to Philly squaring off against Drexel in front more than 1,000 fans on spirit night. I think that this is the biggest crowd to see a Drexel wrestling match in modern times. Drexel Coach Matt Azevedo is in his 7th season and squared off with his former mentor […]

Tonight the Big Red of Cornell come down to Philly to match up with the Drexel Dragons. Drexel Coach Matt Azevedo coached at Cornell under Coach Rob Koll prior to becoming the Drexel Head Coach. Over the last 7 seasons the Drexel staff have steadily improved. They knocked off #16 Rider last Sunday and lost […]

Superbowl weekend wrestling this year has been awesome. This match, PSU v OSU and even my son went 2-0. (Catch him in the Post match interviews below) If you were one of the lucky 500 people to be at the DAC this afternoon you were treated to a great fight between budding rivals. The dual […]

A great mid-Atlantic rivalry is emerging between these two schools and wrestling fans should take note. Last year’s dual was a two-point affair and I see this being just as close. Rider is coming into this match enjoying one of their best dual seasons that I can remember. Drexel comes into this match up with […]

Everyone involved in this dual thought that it was going to be close and they were right. Fuentes was able to close the gap since he last wrestled Wert a couple of years ago but it wasn’t enough. Drexel ran off three wins in a row to take a 7-point lead. Rider then reeled off […]

Video highlights in progress. The Mountain Hawks finished a strong weekend dismantling two good local teams without so much as a hiccup. Drexel opted to draw for the starting weight. This allowed the fans to get a Devoy vs. Parker match to close things out. If you are new to my site, I’m not a […]

It’s that time of year wrestling fans. Schools are mostly back in session. Schedules and rosters are being released and calendars are getting marked up for future match dates. I’m reaching out to coaches that I know to get their projected line ups for the coming season. Lots of things can happen between now and […]

I know, I know things change but as of my recent conversations with the coaches from these programs here’s where they stand as of now: Stevens Tech I recently talked with Coach Favia about this year’s team. Favia is a young and driven person that is leading the program forward in the Centennial Conference. I’ve […]
